NetApp StorageGRID is a software-defined, object storage platform designed to store massive amounts of unstructured data securely, efficiently, and across distributed locations. It provides S3-compatible object storage with intelligent data lifecycle management, allowing organizations to automatically tier, replicate, or move data based on policies, cost, performance, or compliance needs. Built for durability, scale, and multicloud integration, StorageGRID supports long-term data growth without compromising on accessibility or control. StorageGRID is ideal for AI data prep, data lakes & analytics, and data backup & retention - especially compliance-driven datasets, and any workload where data must be retained for long periods at low cost. StorageGRID is also a strong fit for organizations building hybrid or multicloud architectures that want to keep control of their data while integrating with AWS, Azure, or on-premises applications.
